Here are today’s top picks: Battle for Gujarat heats up, Yogi emerges as BJP's star campaigner, Yogi's 'Guru Bhai' seeks BJP ticket from Kutch, Devnath Bapu, Yogi Adityanath's 'Guru Bhai' SPORTS The Sri Lankan team is in India for a three-match Test series, and India vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane spoke exclusively to News 18 Hindi. In a hearty chat, Rahane talked about the current Lankan team, and how they would not do the mistake of taking their opponents lightly. Though India enjoys an upper-hand against their opponents, but they can still spring a surprise, that Virat Kohli and boys need to be wary of.

Also Rahane made it clear during the interview that they are not thinking about the South Africa series as yet, as to be the no.1 team in the world, they'll have to focus on one team at a time. Although Rahane, on being compared to Rahul Dravid, used to shun it, but now has said that he likes it whenever he is compared to the great cricketer. According to him, that only serves as a good motivation to him. "He is my role model off the field too, and I would like take up challenges of ODI and T20 cricket, like the way he did."

ENTERTAINMENT After the two films- S Durga and Nude- were left out from the 48th IFFI, director Sujoy Ghosh resigned as jury head of the Indian Panorama section without giving any reason. On Wednesday morning, film editor and a senior jury member, Apurva Asrani too stepped down from his post. But another member, filmmaker Rahul Rawail, has said he was kept in the loop by the Information and Broadcasting ministry. The I&B Ministry on November 9 had listed 26 feature and 16 non-feature films for the Indian Panorama section of IFFI, leaving out the said films which were recommended by the jury. All reports suggest that the switch was made at the ministry-level without consulting the jury.
